Review of My Mom Made Me Do It

These lifetime films made recently always have their main characters as growing up in single parents households, orphaned and sometimes fostered. Never living in normal homes with both parents happily married. It makes the character unrelatable and also excuses their mistakes. The main character Jade is 18 and has a small group of friends but one of them is murdered one night. At the same time, creepy Rick is hovering around at her friends house and makes a bunch of silly chat up lines. Jade isn't interested in him but later she ends up as his partner in crime, but her reasons are innocent and to help her mother's financial mess. He's just a curious person with no actual home and says nothing about his family or what he does besides making Jade commit robberies. The mother ends up beaten and in hospital for snooping, and there she discovers where her daughter has been hiding but never thinks to call the police. When she does call the police, she's far out in the woods and there's no signal. Some of this film was likeable and others were too silly. Also the nasty villains came across as cartoonish.
